How to Cut and Style Curtain Bangs

Cutting and styling curtain bangs is an art that requires precision, patience, and practice. As a stylist, it's essential to understand the intricacies of this style and how to tailor it to each client's unique hair type and face shape.

When it comes to cutting curtain bangs, Joel Torres, a texture master, emphasizes the importance of avoiding heat damage by applying TIGI Custom Create Heat Protection Spray before blow-drying. He also recommends using TIGI Custom Create Split End Repair Cream for clients with straight and frizzy hair to condition their locks and make them easier to cut dry.

To achieve the perfect curtain fringe, Joel suggests cutting the hair 70% wet, as it's easier to control tension at this stage. After cutting, he blows out the hair to style it and texturizes on dry hair for added texture and definition.

For clients with curly hair, Joel recommends embracing their natural movement by using a freehand technique and avoiding cutting curls too short, which can lead to a micro bangs situation. He also suggests cutting a longer or asymmetrical fringe if they typically wear their hair curly, as this shape will add fullness.

When it comes to determining the most flattering fringe for each client's hair type, Joel emphasizes the importance of considering texture and face shape. For clients with finer texture around the hairline, he recommends moving farther back with a triangular section to create a more balanced look.

By following these tips and techniques, you can achieve stunning curtain bangs that frame your client's face and add texture and depth to their hairstyle.
